Today we announced our existing partnership with Qatar Airways Group will be strengthened with its intention to acquire a 25 per cent minority stake in Virgin Australia, subject to Australian Government approval. This is an important milestone in Virgin Australia’s future return to the Australian public market. Qatar Airways Group’s strategic investment will provide access to critical scale and the knowledge and capability of a world-leading global airline. Our team is the heart of Virgin Australia and this proposed investment is huge recognition of their talent and hard work in rebuilding Australia’s most loved airline. Every one of our 8,000 team members has played a significant role in enabling this investment by Qatar Airways Group.   The investment enables Virgin Australia to make a measured entry into long-haul international flying by mid-2025 through a wet lease arrangement with Qatar Airways. This will ensure Australians have access to even better value airfares and greater choice, with significant flow-on benefits for competition and the Australian economy. It will deliver additional customer benefits, including expanded codeshare arrangements and increased earn and redemption opportunities between Velocity and Qatar Airways’ Privilege Club. And it will unlock the potential for new areas of cooperation, including on Sustainable Aviation Fuel and western Sydney’s aviation ecosystem.   More information: https://lnkd.in/gxiv52PC #VirginAustralia #QatarAirways

The world has changed and we need to redefine how we think about and measure intelligence. It’s time to shake things up and teach the skills the world needs. We need more innovators, problem-solvers, storytellers and unconventional thinking 💭 That’s why we’ve launched DyslexicU with Richard Branson and Made By Dyslexia. The University of Dyslexic Thinking launched today during the UN General Assembly as a free, online platform hosted on Open University to teach people the world’s most sought-after skills in this new world of work. Charity Made By Dyslexia’s new “Intelligence 5.0” report shows AI has changed the type of human intelligence that is crucial for success, which makes the human skills of problem solving, innovation, lateral thinking and interpersonal skills more important than ever. These are the skills you can learn through DyslexicU! Enrol today and join this new school of thought: https://virg.in/4dk0c63
